Canopy of Green

The bells went off, the whistles sounded, clang, clang, wheee, whoee, woop, woop, woop. JACKPOT......JACKPOT.......JACKPOT. ONE MILLION DOLLARS. ONE MILLION BEAUTIFUL GREEN DOLLARS. She hit the jackpot. A canopy of green to protect her for the rest of her life. Her daily dream had come true. No more worries, no more cares .. The celebration was set, her family, her friends, everyone she knew and worked with would be there. The big night arrived. She was on her way. It was only 2 miles from her home to the celebration site. She never arrived. Her car was cut in half by a drunk driver. She died instantly. She sleeps the dream of eternity. She dreams the sleeping dream under a canopy of green.
